When i go to Indonesia, i routinely have to ditch the guide and newbies otherwise they crowd in and frighten off the subjects, or get impatient and start banging their tanks so that i will follow them. If one is shooting macro or fish portraits, then a model is of no use. The last time i dove with buddies locally, one said with an inflection of disgust "you're not gonna carry that thing in the water are you?" when i grabbed the camera. i don't need that kind of crap attitude on my weekends. I spend enough time dealing with others on Monday thru Friday. On the weekends, it is me, myself and i.
